JOYCE GRENFELL. Vintage 3.5 x 5.5 matte finish sepia tone portrait, circa 1950, boldly signed and inscribed in blue fountain pen, "To Polly Longford with good/wishes/Joyce Grenfell." Very fine condition. The toothy, gawky comic actress first gained fame in Britain as a sharp radio and stage raconteur and monologist, and later went on to appear in several dozen films, most notably as Sergeant Ruby Gates in the first three films of the St. Trinian's series.
